Overview
Some fear China's increasing success in exporting manufactures is 'hollowing
out' North and South East Asian economies; if true the impact on the region
and Australia would be considerable. In depth analysis in this new Economic
Analytical Unit report finds China's integration into regional production
chains certainly is boosting its exports of finished manufactures. However,
it finds China still mainly employs labour intensive processes to produce
these exports, importing more technologically advanced components and raw
materials from other regional economies and Australia, expanding their exports.
Meanwhile, other regional economies are successfully changing their production
mix to compete less directly with China's export strengths and meet its
import needs. The report finds East Asia and Australia should continue to
benefit significantly from China's industrial expansion provided their policies
promote flexible and open markets.
